If using any mat, you will have to readjust the arm. Not only will VTA be effected, but because the VTA is changed by the thicker surface, the VTF will also be reduced. This is because the arm pivots in the plane of the record. As you raise the arm, the stylus pressure is increased because of the placement of the pivot point.
I have not heard that mat. Rarely have I heard any (soft material) mat that does not deaden the sound. I would have to audition that mat on a Well Tempered and make associated arm adjustments to know, but I doubt it would be an improvement. I used to sell the Well Tempered and have setup many. When properly done, it is one hell of a table!
